Jean Chazot or “Gay Paree.”? We consider this French 
introduction not only the best commercial bronze 
or autumn-tinted cut flower, but it is also one of the 
best all-around varieties that has yet been produced 
for garden decoration. The habit of the plant is 
all that could be wished for. A _ free, upright 
grower; long, stiff, wiry stems hold the flowers well 
above the foliage in such a manner as to display 
their full beauty; it is one of the most prolific flow- 
ering, coming into bloom early and continuing in 
good condition to the end of the season; we have 
never seen an imperfect flower; these are of good 
size, of splendid Hybrid-Cactus form, and in color a 
beautiful golden-bronze with just a faint suffusion 
of Nasturtium-red that intensifies its brilliancy and 
adds to its charm. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Koh-I-Noor. Maroon, and at times so dark as to be 
nearly black. The flower texture has a pronounced 
velvety sheen which adds greatly to its beauty. In 
form, a perfect Hybrid-Cactus, the blossoms very 
large and deep with perfect centre throughout the 
season. $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 
f Marian Moore. A clear pinkish cerise without the 
Hybrid Cactus Dahlia, slightest taint of magenta, the reverse of the petal 
Esther R. Holmes being of a lighter tint. The flowers are large, of 
perfect incurved formation with perfect stem. $5.00 
per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
